Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3253

While Geoffrey calmly sipped his tea, even Simon couldn't hide his surprise. Not wanting to be harsh, he adopted a coaxing tone. "It's just a minor household dispute, Norah. Involving the authorities seems like a bit of an overreaction, wouldn't you say?"

"Exactly. Think of the scandal if word got out!" Hannah hurriedly chimed in.

Norah directed a sweet, innocent smile at Simon. "But Hannah's gown must have been incredibly expensive, right? That qualifies as a massive destruction of property. How could that possibly be a minor issue?"

"It happened so long ago," Hannah said, her smile faltering. "The dress and the hair were thrown out. Even if the cops show up, there's nothing left for them to investigate."

"Of course there is!" Norah countered confidently. "This estate must have security cameras. Even if there aren't any inside your room, the hallways definitely have them. The police can pull the footage to see if Gonzalez's cat ever actually entered your room that day. They can also check if anyone snuck into the cat's room to steal some fur. The truth will be crystal clear in minutes."

A heavy silence fell over the room.

Norah smiled pleasantly. "If Hannah is too kindhearted to call the police on her own staff, I'll happily be the bad guy and make the call myself!"

With that, Norah pulled out her phone and prepared to dial the authorities.

"Mrs. Hanson!" Celia gasped out in a panic.

Hannah's face paled drastically. "Norah!"

Norah looked up, her expression a picture of pure innocence. "Hannah, Gonzalez was literally driven out of his own home over a dress. So who is more important: a maid, or Gonzalez? I truly don't understand why you and Yvonne keep taking the side of the hired help instead of your own family. Or do you just not see Gonzalez as family at all?"

Her tone was utterly sweet, yet every single question hit the target with lethal precision.

Simon's eyes darkened with suspicion as he cast an icy glare at his wife.

Hannah gave a visible shudder. Her fingers curled into her palms as she forced a strained smile. "You're taking this out of proportion, Norah. Of course Gonzalez is more important."
